Scenario

Jacob Weaver is a contractor operating as a sole proprietorship (EIN 99-3456789).

  • 2014 net income: $133,000.
  • Clients owe him a total of $53,000 for work completed in 2014.
  • 2014 estimated tax payments: $18,000.
  • He is using a bedroom in his house as a home office. The room is 15' x14'.
  • He has one half-time employee, Martin, who had been unemployed since returning from Afghanistan and is disabled.
  • Martin worked for Jacob for 20 hours a week, for 41 weeks of 2014.
  • Martin earned $10,500.
  • Jacob had to spend $7,350 for disabled access equipment for Martin.

I would like to know how to determine what the total gross income is for completing a 2014 Schedule C, as well as how to take into consideration the Estimated tax payments. I believe that I am supposed to add the $53,000 to the net income as well as the $18,000 to get the Gross income...but I am having a hard time finding evidence on substantiating the answer.
